Allen Park — We knew where they’d taken a hit, and we’re seeing it now, the way the once-feared Lions defense is getting pushed around and picked apart.
But we knew where they’d spent the offseason working, too, and we’ve yet to see any tangible evidence the emphasis on improving the run game is ready to pay dividends. Or even move the chains.
Through two games, the Lions are ranked 31st in the NFL in rushing — ahead of only the also-winless Eagles — with the fewest carries (32) and second-fewest yards (107) from scrimmage.
